This is the one I have Paul. Its a little on the pricey side but it is one of the better ones out there. Like I said people just use the PH tape and it gets them into the ball park.

The recipe has waaaaaaaaay to much salt and almost twice the recamended amount of cure #1 for 3 1/2 lb of meat/fat

With "Kosher" salt I use no more than 1 Tbl per pound of meat and for the amount of meat
1/2 rounded tsp of cure would be enough

As far as the Lactic Acid Starter Culture I would replace it with butter milk powder
or fremento seein as you allready have the fermento

Just sayin  ;D
